java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError when deploying to Glassfish application server

I have created a simple demo rest service which queries Ethereum to get basic information. I am using the Web3j library version 5.0.0 https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.web3j/core/5.0.0
I have added the library to the project using Maven. Built the project which compiles successfully and trying to debug it. I am using GlassFish 6.2.51 for my application server.
Any ideas why I am getting the below error?

Issue is resolved. Folder which contains my web application was not have necessary permission to the account which was used to Run Tomcat Service.

Error occurred during deployment: Exception while loading the app :

Please see server.log for more details.
How can I overcome this error?I use Java MVC and Tomcat server.

That error may occur if you mix JARs from different versions of Apache Axiom.

Deploying a WAR to virgo-tomcat server

I have been stuck for the last couple of days deploying a standard WAR to Virgo-tomcat server (version 3.0.2). The standard WAR file exported from eclipse works perfectly fine on tomcat, but not when deploying to Virgo-tomcat.
I have read the users-guide and the programmers guide, and as far as I'm aware - it should be a case of deploying the WAR to the VIRGO_HOME/pickup directory (or alternatively using the application manager). I have tried both methods, yet nothing works.
Here are the results from the logs.

Ok, so after testing a couple of test applications, I managed to get some sample WARs to run on Virgo without any modification.
To fix the problem at hand, I added the following line to the MANIFEST.MF file of my web app.
Import-Package: org.springframework.web.context

would like some guidance decrypting tomcat errors

I have these errors for tomcat 7. I am uploading to a server with JDK 1.6 and running Tomcat 7.02X
I keep getting these errors whatever i Do. what does this mean?

Reason for this is because your java file is compiled with a later version of the JDK (eg.Java 7) while your JRE is an earlier version (eg. Java 6).
Mayb you can fix this problem first to see if you have new errors.
If you are using external libraries, then it is likely that the external library was compiled with a more recent version of the Java Compiler, as compared to the JRE you are using. I would recommend you upgrade your JRE to the latest version.

LifecycleException indicates most probably you have a life cycle problem.
UnsupportedClassVersionError is thrown when the class file's version numbers are not supported.
IllegalStateException is as the name says, the state of the Java Application isn't legal or appropriate to handle the current request.
